IBM Cloud Secrets - Get a String Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to fetch the content of a string secret from the IBM Cloud Secrets.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

    // IBM Cloud API Key

    // See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory, 
    // or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
    // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
    // Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
    CkSecrets bootstrap = new CkSecrets();

    // Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
    // Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
    // You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
    // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    bootstrap.put_Location("local_manager");

    // Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
    CkJsonObject bsId = new CkJsonObject();
    bsId.UpdateString("appName","ibm_bs");
    bsId.UpdateString("service","Example");
    bsId.UpdateString("username","Joe");

    // ----------------------------------------------------
    CkSecrets secrets = new CkSecrets();

    secrets.put_Location("ibm_cloud");
    success = secrets.SetBootstrapSecret(bsId,bootstrap);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(secrets.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Specify the secret to be fetched.
    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("appName","Test");
    json.UpdateString("service","Something");
    json.UpdateString("domain","Xyz");
    json.UpdateString("username","Abc");

    // You'll also need to specify your IBM Cloud instance ID and region for each API call.
    json.UpdateString("instance_id","a88a0c56-50a6-4461-9911-345b173e1171");
    json.UpdateString("region","us-south");

    // Get the secret.
    String secretValue = secrets.getSecretStr(json);
    if (secrets.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        System.out.println(secrets.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    System.out.println("The content of the secret: " + secretValue);
    System.out.println("Success.");
